Exhibit is a wild one
Wild Observations is the current art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre, and runs until Oct. 16.
This exhibit showcases a very unique exhibit of paper collage, by artist Debbie Goodman.
The pieces she creates are composed entirely from coloured and patterned specialty paper, which come from many countries of origin.
Debbie is passionate about wildlife and the conservation and animal welfare, as you will see in this wonderful collection.
